Webroot security and Performance Tuneup...

We are still a happy Webroot User and have been a Happy Webroot user for quite sometime...

On April 6 2016 we decided to take our clients to Webroot and on April 30th our Client provided a license for us...

What we didn't realize at the time was how lucky we were going to be that we purchased it when we did...

We got lucky because we didn't have to buy the Premium (Complete) version of the software to get the Security and Performance Tuneup utilities...

This is the Optimize Now and the System Analyzer features of the software that are quite useful...

As you know we removed CCleaner and will not be reloading it, but you don't need it when you have a better cleaner with Windows Disk Cleanup and Webroot's Optimizer...

The System Analyzer is a great little utility as well that tests your hardware, software, makes sure your udpates are up to date, gives you a breakdown of your components, checks for threats and runs through all that very fast...

Now for the Bad News, if you buy it from Webroot online you won't get any of this if you buy the 3 user version like we got, nope, you'll have to buy the 5 user license with features you won't even use...

Your Operating systems already have a cloud service that's compatible with all your programs that you use, so why would you use a third party solution...

It's already bad enough that you can't buy just ONE User license, no, you have to buy several licenses now, but at least Internet Security only has 3...

Most people have 3 devices and for sure 2, but rarely 5 devices so you have to either sit on 2 licenses that you'll never use or give them to someone and pay for them for as long as they own their system...

So if you befriend one of those other users, you have to get a new credit card, update the card on the profile in order to stop paying for them and then you're back to sitting on a license, just dumb...

Well we have a solution for users that think like us and it's as easy as this: Go to BestBuy.com, then type 5581258 in the search field and Viola, 3 user license, Webroot Internet Security and Optimize now and System Analyzer included...

You'll pay 5 dollars more than the Webroot site, but you get the Security and Performance Tuneup utilities, and you spend 10.00 less by not paying for a 5 user/useless features version software...

It's obvious why Webroot does this, if they didn't no one would buy their Complete Software, so they have to cheapens one and entice with worthless features on another to attract the naïve user...

We're not happy with Webroot about this tactic, but at least now you have a workaround...

Happy Computing...
